I've been confined to a graveyard for over 10 years. Stuck like a horse to its stall. The graveyard was filled to the brim with dull, forgotten gravestones. As the rain, like a pencil, dropped to the ground, the wind screamed through the air like a rollercoaster. An apple tree's bark slowly peeled off like an orange's skin. The tree I used to get fresh, juicy apples from. As Zeus's storm continued, I couldn't help but think about all the inventions I've managed to create. The rain collector for water, along with a purifier. I also managed to grow a farm using seeds. The beautiful, reliable moon was covered by the evil, dark clouds. The moon I once worshipped, the moon I once read stories too, like a mother to her child. One star shone, the star that represented hope. Hope that dimmed a long time ago. Then, a bright light shined through the locked and rusted gate.

In a world that screams, I stand in despair,
My voice drowned out, lost in the air.
Chains of tradition tighten each day,
I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay.
Each breath I take feels heavy and torn,
Every mistake a scar I've worn.
I crave a sky where I can be free,
Away from the walls that imprison me.
For now, I sit with my heart in pain,
Silent, yet screaming, again and again.
Though shattered, a spark in me still survives,
Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.
